When our Patrons talk, we listen.

From the start of our Celebrated Speakers Series^TM, we heard the requests. "Let us participate in selecting the lecturers who appear on The Emerson Center's stage?" And, we responded.

Each year, the members of our Celebrated Speakers Series Patrons Club are invited to provide their suggestions for building the coming season. At this moment, the members are marking their ballots to provide the guidance we need to build an exciting season for 2012.

"We rely on the opinions of our Patrons," states Don Croteau, an active volunteer with The Emerson Center, "to help us enlist a roster of speakers who will inform and entertain our audiences. Not only are their insights important, their connections have actually helped us recruit speakers from time to time. We'd be lost without them.

"While we work hard to sign-up the lecturers our Patrons prefer most," Croteau adds, "we sometimes have to make other decisions due to scheduling problems or budgetary concerns. Still, our Patrons' advice keeps us focused on the programs our audiences desire and demand. We feel that this input is a major reason our programs continues to be so popular."

Current Patrons who have not returned their ballots should send them in as soon as possible. Other non-Patrons may want to consider becoming Patrons in order to participate in future selections and enjoy the many other benefits of Patron status.
